Resources

In late 2024, Believe and Become Occupational Therapy was successful in securing a grant from the NDIS to deliver Peer Support and Capacity Building programs in the Macarthur and Southern Highlands areas and beyond. Through the grant we are delivering initiatives to support people with disability and their families and carers, including people not eligible for, or who do not have, NDIS funding. These include peer support groups, workshops, information sessions and resources. Below you can access all of the free resources we have been able to develop through support of the grant. We will continue to update this page.
